After what I have seen in the news lately, I can only say that We in the aviation industry have brought it upon ourselves. Even though its a small percentage in relation to other jobs, when Airline Pilots get tested and blow twice the legal limit for a DUI, AFTER they have flown, its no surprise.
Im sure, as with DUI, they will have to have some probable cause. If not I think I would tell them to pound sand.
